Appraisal services for home sellers - Jose Hernandez

Getting an appraisal from Jose Hernandez before putting your Los Angeles County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few CA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
